My students need books that will get them excited about reading including Copper Sun, Fallen Angels and Saint Anything. They need a wide variety of books to meet their various interests.
I teach both gifted students and struggling readers. Students in my reading class spend time reading every day. Many of them start the year saying they don't like to read. I want them to finish the year having fallen in love with books.
My reading students are in middle school and, if they are taking my class, they are not on grade level for reading.
Even though they may not read as well as their peers, they are often willing to take a leap and read a more challenging book if I can get them to see how interesting it is. It's essential that I have a compelling, age-appropriate, and up-to-date classroom library.
My Project
My students need contemporary books such as Maximum Ride, Unbroken, and Burning Blue for independent reading. My students will use the classroom library books to read during independent reading time in class. They are also encouraged to check these books out and take them home to read. We do a number of book projects throughout the year with the books they read for independent reading.
These books should provide enough variety and fresh titles to my classroom library that every student can find something he or she likes to read.
I hope that students will get hooked on reading in 7th grade and become lifelong readers.
